Sti rear lights
 
Is there a mod that you can do to put your fog light in to them as I have no rear fog at the moment thanks .

Yes, involves making and mounting a light in the upper red bit towards the boot. If you can, have a look at a standard Uk set, it will give you the idea.

Cheers Nick I will have a look as I still got my uk rear lights in the shed .

Just had a look and that's what has been done but it still shows white when on so I'm going to get another red bulb as the one in it has seen better days .

I did the same on my car I put it in the right hand reverse light but be aware the first bulb I purchased off of eBay turned out to be pink and not red so be careful. Sorry can't remember who I purchased from May be worth trying to find an led type?

The fog light has to be either center or on the off side of the vehicle for the mot
so use os reverse light.

Red Baron 02-09-2014 02:40 PM

What fitment are they?

MOT stated the one my brother used in his JDM Blob STI light was a bit pinkish, it's not a bayonet pin, think it's a capless one he has.

scotty 02-09-2014 02:59 PM

These are the ones I've got bud they are bayonet fitment
